We are delighted to publish a new collection of classroom resources, aimed at 14-16 (GCSE) geography teachers and students, exploring climate change, extreme weather, and adaptation to it.

Some of the resources in the collection were already available on MetLink, but most have been created for us by Rob Gamesby (Cool Geography) and are based on RMetS funded research, just completed, by Jiashu Zhu at Cambridge University. The research focusses on the causes, impacts and effectiveness of adaptation measures to river flooding in Sheffield, Extreme heat (heatwaves) in Cambridge and monsoon flooding in Pakistan.

Practice SATs Questions with climate context

Post author By Sylvia Knight
Post date 29 April 2025

RMetS have answered a call to make some KS2 SATs practice questions with weather and climate contexts.

These questions are taken directly from the last three years of SATs papers (specifically maths papers 2 and 3), with numbers changed to fit in with the updated context.

Context is wide ranging. Some questions refer to wildflowers, insects and grow-your-own vegetables to connect with young people’s love of nature and to empower them to act positively towards nature and our climate. Other more obvious connections include questions about the seasons, flooding, public transport and renewable energy.

Questions have been broken down into topic and are in PDF form, and available as Word documents (to make it easy to copy and paste) together with the answers for teachers (or students to self or peer mark).
